I really like Galactica's set when they opened for the Brothers in 2002.

Has anybody ever heard music by the Aussie band Whipping Post? HTN ran an article on them by Jill Howland several years ago -- I have two of their discs, and they're great. The name obviously implies who their influence is, but these guys have their own sound, and if they ever came to America it would be way cool to see them be an opener.

I think NMAS have only opened one show for the ABB, which was two summers ago. They'd certainly make a great opener for the whole tour. Luther Dickinson is amazing. I caught them a few nights ago and they put on a great show.

Some others:

Los Lobos. A great 3-man power trio from Texas that really tear things up.

Chris Robinson. He opened for the Mule last fall and his band is excellent.
